Spaghetti Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 12 ounces spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish with olive oil.
2. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with olive oil.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the grated Parmesan and beaten eggs. Mix well until the spaghetti is evenly coated.
4. Press the spaghetti mixture into the prepared pie dish, forming a crust that extends up the sides.
5. Spread a cup of marinara sauce over the spaghetti crust.
6. In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella, dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spoon this mixture over the marinara sauce, spreading it evenly.
7. Top with the remaining cup of marinara sauce, spreading it evenly over the ricotta mixture.
8. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the pie is golden and bubbly.
10. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your slice of cheesy heaven!

Helpful Tips

For a twist, try adding some grated vegetables like zucchini or carrots to the ricotta mixture for extra nutrition. If you’re short on time, you can also use store-bought marinara sauce to speed things up.
